The most important thing I want to get across is that maintaining weight loss is just hard. It takes a dedication to exercise and eating right most of the time.

I'd much rather put on weight than have to lose weight.

Many people struggle with losing weight and then regaining it. But there is no convincing evidence that the effort to lose weight actually promotes more weight gain in the long run.

You don't need to stick to tough rules or overnight changes; you need not rely on hardcore discipline that makes you hate your life. You need only focus on progress, not perfection. Lean in to the process of losing weight, and it will happen easily.

I have a harder time eating properly than I do exercising. It's easier for me to add an activity than to deny myself something. And when I do lose the weight, I don't like that it makes me feel good about myself. It's not who I am.

I've found that it's easier to stay in shape than it is to get into shape.

Putting on weight for me is really, really hard. If I stop lifting, or if I stop eating, I get skinny really quick.

My weight has been one of the most challenging things that I've had to deal with throughout my career.
